Simply gorgeous early morning Texas scene Jeff!

2/9/2013 6:25:23 AM

Beautifully done...love the comp. I'm sure that delicious-sounding "beverage" made all the difference.

2/9/2013 6:37:11 AM

B*R*A*V*O

2/9/2013 6:45:01 AM

Wow....just beautiful! And you always make the coffee sound so good too!

2/9/2013 6:55:08 AM

Glad you had coffee on hand to stay alert, Jeff. This capture is fantastic! Love those morning colors, the steer, the tree branch silhouettes --- everything about this says: WINNER!

2/9/2013 6:57:19 AM

Love this "Very Texas Morning"
shot Jeff! It really captures the essence of Texas.

2/9/2013 7:01:58 AM

So very beautiful! Outstanding work, Jeff.

2/9/2013 7:09:49 AM

Beautiful colors and silhouettes.

2/9/2013 7:23:49 AM

Very beautifully. Excellently portrayed Jeff. Love it!

2/9/2013 7:36:57 AM

What a FANTASTIC way to start the day Jeff!!! Actually, I prefer the white chocolate mocha latte. BEAUTIFULLY done!! <><

2/9/2013 7:56:23 AM

This spells Texas, Jeff. Excellent capture!

2/9/2013 8:26:03 AM

2/9/2013 9:47:30 AM

Beautiful, iconic image, Jeff! I wonder if home brewed Gevalia would work as well.

2/9/2013 10:31:33 AM

What a beautiful scene and capture Jeff! I will have to be satisfied with my dark roast Harris brew!

2/9/2013 10:58:43 AM

Fantastic silhouette, Jeff. Amazing photo.

2/9/2013 2:28:30 PM

A classic TEXAS capture. Great silhouettes Jeff.

Agree that this is sooooo spectacular, Jeff! Wow!!!

2/9/2013 5:13:01 PM

Starbucks is roasting blondes? In the raw? What? I knew mermaids did crazy stuff but that is a new one on me! Heehee...

You sure know how to show off T*E*X*A*S*, Jeff! This is more than beautiful. Most all of your images could be famous and at the very least famous postcards!

GO FOR IT! :D (And then you can own Starbucks and save the blondes!) Ha!

-Laura :) !!

2/9/2013 6:36:32 PM

Beautiful!

2/9/2013 6:40:34 PM

What a gorgeous morning it was, Jeff! A beautiful capture! Your coffee is too weak for me though. LOL.

2/9/2013 7:21:49 PM

Wow, beautiful Jeff. As for the coffee, I don't drink it and I find the names rather amusing. In fact I have trouble understanding all these different coffees. Give me a weak cup of tea any day, plain by the way.

2/9/2013 8:06:27 PM

Beautiful sunrise comp and silhouettes!!

2/9/2013 10:32:11 PM

Thank You! Jeff

2/15/2013 2:42:20 AM

Well, I'm not sure I can even translate that Starbucks order, Jeff. LOL But I've got to say that the state of Texas should put this on the cover of their tourist book. It's iconic Texas all the way.

2/16/2013 9:43:51 AM

Thanks Mitch!! :-)

Dear Photo Friend: I feel that something has changed at Better Photo but cannot tell you just what has happened. I have been here since 2003 and most every month I have written to all the winners telling them how their work touches me. I have witnessed photographs that bring tears to my eyes and colors that are unbelievable, now I am worried that like all good things that it will not be here the next time I look.
But the feeling of not being able to congratulate all the winners for the hard work, and sharing their talent with all of us makes me so sad.
However it turns out and even if this is the last time I have this privilege, to let you know how exceptional your work has been, please know that I will never forget.
CONGRATULATIONS to all of you for the month of February, 2013, I send my very best to you always, Merna Nobile

4/21/2013 10:17:45 AM

Thanks Merna! Jeff
